0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website garlic.garden is a small-scale resource and service platform hosted by Allium House, operated under the organization Private by Design, LLC based in the US. The site presents minimal content with a focus on gardening-related resources but lacks detailed business model information or extensive service descriptions. The technical infrastructure is basic, utilizing Font Awesome for icons and hosted via Porkbun DNS services. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks. Security posture is weak, with no HTTPS enforcement or security headers detected, and no privacy or cookie policies present. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the website's apparent scale and purpose, with domain registration dating back to 2020. Overall, the site appears legitimate but lacks maturity in security and compliance aspects.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business behind garlic.garden appears to be a small entity focused on providing gardening resources and services, targeting a general audience interested in gardening. The market position is unclear due to limited content and lack of detailed business information. There are no visible partnerships or subsidiaries. The business model likely revolves around informational content or community services, but no monetization or revenue streams are evident. The lack of contact information and policies suggests an early-stage or hobbyist project rather than a commercial enterprise.

Security posture

The security posture of garlic.garden is minimal. The absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers exposes the site to potential risks such as data interception and clickjacking. No incident response contacts or security policies are provided, indicating low readiness for security incidents. The domain registration includes protective statuses like clientDeleteProhibited, which is positive, but DNSSEC is not enabled. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site requires significant improvements in security best practices and compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure data transmission.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Include clear contact information and incident response contacts for security issues.
  4. Enable security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Consider enabling DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.

Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
